Traffic Hazard Cleared on Highway 101 South after Vehicle Runs Out of Gas at Mile Marker 56

AI SUMMARY: A traffic hazard was reported on Highway 101 South at mile marker 56.00. A vehicle was on the side of the road, blocking the #1 lane. The driver was out of the vehicle, and the California Highway Patrol changed the problem from a disabled vehicle to a traffic hazard. Another agency was notified about the situation at mile marker 54.6, where a Subaru Legacy with license plate 8HSZ102 was also blocking the #1 southbound lane. The vehicle was eventually moved off the roadway, and a request was made to notify the stuck vehicle at Willits Pump. The vehicle ran out of gas, but once gas was obtained, the vehicle was no longer blocking traffic and would be on its way.
